The French newspaper "Le Figaro" has shed light on French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Egypt, describing the country as a major strategic ally for France.

The newspaper added that President Macron is scheduled to travel on Tuesday to the city of Al-Arish, located near the Gaza Strip border, where he will hold talks with humanitarian and security officials involved in addressing the crisis.

The report noted that this highly symbolic visit is an opportunity to reaffirm Emmanuel Macron’s commitment to "calling for a ceasefire" between Israel and Hamas.

According to "Le Figaro", France remains a key player for Egypt at a time when many are reassessing their alliances, particularly in light of U.S. President Donald Trump's policies and the situation in Palestine.

The article concluded by stating that Macron is striving to establish an independent European path in military, economic, and political domains — within this context, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi emerges as a strategic ally for France.
